I look at it like this....
Do I want JJ OR..... B Thomas & a 2025 1st along with some other less critical draft picks.
- Here's my math: Thomas would take the Bengals 2024 1st, so, trading that away is a wash. The other picks would be the 2025 1st and some extras.
The part I wouldn't love is Higgins AND the 2 1sts (2024 & 2025) because an early 2024 2nd I would move Higgins for to, say NE, puts the Bengals in a great spot for a very good RT to work behind Brown this season.
That money is still going to have to fill a hole in the roster for every contract that leaves the books. It's not like the team will have a complete roster with an extra $90M to splurge on flashy additions to the team and contract extensions for players who have earned them.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
